Sir,
Enclosed are the papers of Joseph Dyer of Oxford Township, Struble County, an executor of the Will of the late Richard Dyer.
You may communicate with me or with James Dyer Esquire of Smithfield son of the late Joseph Dyer as is most agreeable to you or to the Petitioner himself.
I am Dear Sir,

The Hon. James M. Chapman Esq. Esq. Esq.

Doylston January, 30 th 1851.
My dear Sir,
Thomas Dungan came to see me again, yesterday, concerning the matter about which I wrote you some time ago. He informs me he was in Philada a few days ago, when John Price or Pease told him he had received a check from Washington for over three hundred dollars, and then the money at the mint. They have received it as back pay for the services of his grandfather Joseph Dyer in the Revolutionary War. There seems something wrong about it. Those who have applied are in part of the heirs, and the Department is not authorized to pay any such claim, unless there is proof that there are no more heirs living. Price says, a man named Alexander Ray from Washington came to him some time ago, and offered to obtain the money if he would give him one half. Now this man had access to the books of the Department, I am unable to say. Mr. Dungan wishes you to ask the Pension office for a copy of the papers in the case, and obtain all the information in relation to it you can.
I remain Yours Truly W. W. Davis

James L. Edwards Esq. Com te of Pensions Sir,
Your letter of the 27 th Ult o . to the Hon ble John Freeland in the case of Joseph Dye, late of Penn te is now before me requiring a certificate of the Court showing the date of his death and the names of the surviving children.
You state, "that Joseph Dye was appointed a "Lieut" or "Sub-Conductor" of Troops the 18 th March 1877 1877, and served in that capacity until the 8 th July following, making 3 mo. 20 days, and that on the 13 th April 1878 he was appointed a Major Conductor and served as such for one year."
It appears to me, and without any trained effort, that as Joseph Dye was appointed a Lieut or Sub-Conductor in March 1877 he served in that capacity until he was appointed a Conductor the 13 th April 1878, and one year's service omitted after March 1877 to Apr 79 make 25 mo:
John F. Tees Esq. a gentleman of high standing who presented and prepared "Dye's" paper, advises me that there is a paper on file with the original application, showing Joseph Dye was in the Proton Department in the Fall of 1880 thus making 3 1/2 year's service. If then as he served as you state, and is represented by Mr Tees, it cannot admit of a question that Dye served for more than 2 years, as a Lieut. and Sub-Conductor, and as a Conductor of Troops.

a claim is this made for the year 1891 at the rate of $40 per mo.
I remain very
respectfully

Madam:
I have to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to any soldier of the Revolution named Joseph Dyer, or Dyre, who served in the Penn. Troops, or who resided in that state, other than he, whose record was sent December 30, 1926, for the reason that you requested the history of the pensioner of that name of Philadelphia County, Penn
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
